The Temple of the Rosy Cross: The Soul its Powers, Migrations, and Transmitigations by Freeman B. Dowd

Publishing: 1901 Eulian Publishing Co; Salem, MA Fourth Edition Revised and Enlarged

Dowd was a strong critic of the Theosophical Societies preoccupation on celibacy. As a proponent of sexual occultism, he held the notion that celibacy was a sure way to delusion. Dowd’s views on Rosicrucianism were far from conventional.It has been noted that occult author A.E. Waite held a harsh view on Dowd. This work is quite scarce on the market in any edition and/or condition.
